A game of one-upmanship with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has left the BJP in Madhya Pradesh red-faced.

The BJP married off a Dalit girl,Anguri,with whose family Rahul had spent a night with much fanfare  invitation cards bore the name of BJP state chief Prabhat Jha and MoS for SC/ST Welfare Harishankar Khatik attended the wedding on April 24.

The party claimed Rahul had promised to arrange for her marriage but did not keep his word after getting his share of publicity.

Anguris marriage was the showpiece of a mass wedding organised by the party to embarrass Rahul.

However,the BJP,it turns out,had misidentified the girl. Worse,Anguri is only 16 years of age. And if that wasnt enough,the man she was married to,Ramesh,is yet to separate from the woman he had married on May 6,2011.

The Congress,needless to say,came out all guns blazing on Thursday  waving documents purportedly showing Anguris age,photographs and invitation cards of Rameshs marriages  and demanded action against Jha and Khatik for solemnising the marriage of a minor.
